How do I find the surface area?

You purchased a scale model of the Eiffel Tower.

The scale factor is 1 : 1180. The model is 10 inches

high and has a surface area of 1.7 ft^2


b. What is the surface area of the Eiffel Tower?

Set up a proportion, which is two fractions set equal to one another. By the way, the scale factor means that one foot of the scale model represents 1180 feet of the real deal Eiffel Tower. Be careful with linear feet versus square feet.
